Abstract

I analyze the implications of the recently published "Author Correction" (Nat Commun 14, 5322 (2023)) to a paper by Eremets and coauthors reporting magnetization measurements on hydrides under high pressure (Nat Commun 13, 3194 (2022)) to the understanding of the validity and reproducibility of the published data. This paper is a compilation of several different papers already published or to be published in the scientific literature.
